Negril’s road nightmare - Traffic delays threaten Westmoreland town’s tourism appeal
Hoteliers report that visitors traveling from Sangster International Airport to Negril can face road delays of up to four hours during rain. A new international study ranked Negril 91st out of 100 beach destinations for airport accessibility. In contrast, Montego Bay ranked seventh in the same global study. This difference is due to the busiest tourism airport being located minutes away from major hotels and beaches in Montego Bay.
